742: Chapter 491 742: Chapter 491 The ancestor of the Buddhist Sect Yuan Clan, in an effort to break the seal, unleashed his full might in a strike, aiming to open the Mysterious Gate.
All the ancestors watched this scene, their gazes filled with hope.
That the one causing trouble for them was Jiang Tang?
Jiang Tang, just like the previous times, took the force of the opponent’s attack on the palace gate and absorbed it into his inner space with the Star-absorbing Spell, channeling it into a circle of light.
The full-powered palm of the Buddhist Sect Yuan Clan ancestor could only lead to disappointment for everyone, including himself; his method of undoing the seal was ineffective.
Within the palace of the West Sea Dragon King, Jiang Tang had the highest skilled ancestors of the Cultivation World running circles around him, yet he also enjoyed the enthusiastic company of their family’s women.
He felt not a bit of guilt—this was just a temporary measure to keep them from meddling with his affairs.
He would compensate them later; this was to knock down the arrogance of these ancestors.
They were over a thousand years old, yet still acted like youngsters, constantly on the move.
Shouldn’t they cherish the present more and enjoy the pleasures of family life?
All they think about is cultivating and ascending, not realizing that the current scarcity of spiritual energy and conditions won’t allow it.
They even come to disrupt his plans, and he had no intention of explaining to these old folks.
These old folks, spoiled by their pride, how could they listen to him?
Instead, this mysterious identity he held made these old folks incessantly pursue him, and even allowed him to play tricks on them.
If they knew his abilities were almost on par with theirs, and that he was younger and about to marry into their family, would they try to disrupt his marriage?
“Immortal, could you please release my father?”
At this moment, one of the princesses of the West Sea, who still cared deeply for her father, pleaded for him.
She didn’t want to see her father prosecuted in front of strangers, sibling rivalry at its worst.
She didn’t know where this person had taken her father and feared for his wellbeing—her uncle was terribly sly!
“Let’s quietly enjoy our food and drink here, and let them vent their anger inside.
They’re old, and their tempers are too fiery.”
Jiang Tang had already noticed that the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit was probably annoyed with Ao Guang and had actually helped the West Sea Dragon King control a space within, unaffected by demonic beasts and attacks from outside.
Neither ghosts nor creatures from outside could enter this space.
The two Dragon Kings controlled within this space by the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit, with Ao Guang being the most severely restrained, was unable to fight back even when attacked by his brother.
In this space, neither Dragon King could use spells; they could only use their physical strength, striking at each other with the force of their bodies.
Ao Guang seemed to have his strength sapped as well, feeling weak all over.
Even speaking, he sounded utterly exhausted.
Although the West Sea Dragon King could not cast spells, his energy was unaffected.
Brimming with vigor, he landed punch after punch with force.
The beaten Ao Guang, now with a swollen nose and bruised face, purple and green in spots, could feel the agony even in his soul.
“Is that enough, brother?
Shall we stop fighting now?”
“If I don’t beat you, you’ll never learn your lesson!”
“But you don’t have to hit so hard!
And certainly not in the face, not my handsome face!”
“Handsome face, you say?
Looking to charm young maidens with that old face of yours?”
The words of the West Sea Dragon King turned Ao Guang’s face even redder with anger.
His previous arrogance had been significantly eroded over the past few days.
In this moment, being beaten by his brother, the feeling of being controlled was unbearably suffocating.
Even a fool knew not to offend petty individuals; Ao Guang considered the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit as such.
Indeed, the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit took the form of a small child.
Listening to their conversation, the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit almost burst out laughing, finding it too entertaining.
He felt the atmosphere inside the Hell Palace was too stifling, and needed to find some boring individuals to play with.
Having had his fun with the two Dragon Kings, he then considered that there were still many creatures within the space that could provide him entertainment.
For instance, the story he heard about the team of human traffickers, beauties, and beasts had infuriated the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit.
He thought these humans, playing within his Magical Treasure, were still subject to his control, and he planned to slowly toy them to death.
The beauty and the beast were reuniting; the Queen and General Maria were finally able to meet within the city treasure.
This meeting was both shocking and delightful.
The language they spoke at the meeting, the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit could not understand—it was akin to beast speak.
Indeed, the Hell Palace Artifact Spirit could not comprehend every language.
He felt it might be a foreign language, uttering jabberwocky, and admired them for how well they spoke the language of Ancient Xia Country to deceive others.
When the Queen and General Maria met, they discussed the disappearance of some children from the treasure and their current predicament: trapped here and soon to be without food, they would starve to death.
They could drink from this river’s water source, but it was uncertain whether demonic beasts had soiled it with excrement.
Discovering no wells in this space, there was only this river, its extent unknown.
One could imagine, that all the creatures in the space drank from this water.
Previously inside the city treasure, many had been poisoned.
They had no choice but to use medicine to detoxify.
Aside from poisoning, the people of the city treasure had also been injured.
General Maria stated that they too had been poisoned and injured.
The Queen was also aware of their concerns.
If they did not seek food, they would starve to death either in the city treasure or in the submarine.
In the end, they decided to covertly hunt for the lower energy demonic beasts in the space, as a source of food.
It was particularly important to observe the daily behavior of the beasts in the space to determine what exactly they ate.
